The production is stage managed by Anthony Wininger, and the assistant is Li-Hui Liu. Guest artist Milt Zoth is the executive director, and the student director is Dustin S. Massie. Paul Lee is the sound designer, Donnell Walsh is the set designer, Stephanie Robinson is the lighting designer and Angela Jean Hetz is in charge of costume design.

"The ideas played out in A Christmas Carol are as timely today as they were when Charles Dickens first penned this tale," Ted Gregory, Director of Theatre, said. "If you call someone a Scrooge they, more than likely, will instantly comprehend your meaning. Audiences are still delighted by the trials and tribulations of Ebenezer Scrooge and this stage version will undoubtedly stir up the holiday spirit," he said.

Jelkyl Theatre is located in Roemer Hall on the main campus at 209 S. Kingshighway, St. Charles, MO. For reservations contact the Box Office at (636) 949-4878.
